Here is a great example of some substitution exercises.  Supported ring dips in place of regular dips or ring dips (left) and ring rows in place of pull-ups (right).  Learning the basic exercises and finding out the best substitutions for beginners is some of what you will learn at the Intro to CrossFit classes.

Row

push-ups

Count the lowest number of reps performed for for a round out of the 5 rounds for each exercise (calories on the rower).  Add up your score and post it to comments.  An example would be for push ups your numbers were 40-25-20-17-18 you score would be 17 plus the lowest numbers from your other exercise.

WOD

Today we will work the air squat some more.

Tabata Squats x 3 iterations with a 3 min. rest between iterations.

Focus on proper technique more than high numbers for those of you who are new.  You can rest in either the up or down positions but rest in the down to make the exercise extremely more difficult. 

Post total number of squats performed for each individual iteration.  For example 100-85-87.
